Cumming out with his hands up.

“It’s just me!” Spencer called out not wanting to get shot.

“Who’s me?” Evelyn yelled back.

“It's Spencer. Spencer Askren. I’m coming out. Don’t shoot.”

Stepping slowly out from behind the tree, Spencer made sure that his arms were out very wide. Evelyn was still in the pool up to her shoulders but now her arms were above the water with a dark grey handgun held firmly between her palms.

“Jesus Christ Spencer!” Evelyn swore as she uncocked the handgun and pointed it towards the sky. “What are you doing here?”

“I was hiking. This is the trail above my property.” Spencer had begun to draw closer to Evelyn now that she wasn’t pointing a gun at him and he felt safer.

Spencer's story checked out Evelyn concurred to herself. She should have known better. She was acutely aware of where Spencer lived, and what had happened there, any other times she drove near his farmhouse. She should have considered the fact now when she was above his property as well.

It was Spencer's turn to question Evelyn. “What are you doing here?”

“We’ve had reports of animal attacks in the area. Not on people but like on smaller animal carcasses that look like they’ve been eaten. I thought maybe a mountain lion or such. It’s not good for tourism anyway so I thought I’d come out here on my days off and have a hunt around.”

“Amy and I thought we saw a wolf a week or so ago,” Spencer added helpfully.

“A wolf, huh? Could be. A bit unusual though. A coyote I’d understand,” Evelyn offered.

“It's all very interesting but I meant what are you doing in this pool?”

“Oh. I found a dead animal a little way further up and got blood and guts all over my hands and arms while I was investigating.”

“But aren’t you… naked under there?”

Evelyn smirked. Rising up on her toes slightly, Spencer could see as the tops of Evelyn’s breasts were briefly visible above the water before disappearing.

Spencer grinned too. “Isn’t it freezing though?”

Evelyn again rose up but this time she continued out of the water until Spencer could see her nipples. Her dark brown areola had shrivelled until they were nothing more than tiny specks with a minuscule rock-hard nip attached.

“And where were you hiding the gun?” Spencer laughed.

Evelyn cracked up too before pointing towards a rucksack Spencer hadn’t noticed yet. Evelyn must have come to the side of the pool to retrieve her sidearm and retreated back into the water while Spencer had been cowering behind the tree. It was smart and gave Evelyn at least some tactical advantage of cover. Spilling from the open top of the backpack were Evelyn's clothes.

Feeling a rapport with Evelyn that was fun and playful, Spencer lent to pick up the strap of the bag. “And all your clothes are in here? So I shouldn’t say… run back down the mountain with them?”

Evelyn’s eyes went wide. “You wouldn’t dare! I still have the gun.”

Spencer weighed it up in his mind for a second. There really was no way Evelyn was going to shoot him. He’d mess with her just a bit though. Turning Spencer couldn’t help giggling with glee as he made a dash back towards the line of trees. He’d hide there for a few moments before giving the bag and her clothes back to Evelyn.

The sheriff's deputy was alert for this kind of treachery as she was up and out of the water, almost the instant Spencer had started to move. She lay the gun gently down onto the ground as she exited the pool so was a couple of metres further back when she gave proper chase. Spencer hadn’t truly been trying to flee, still, he was taken by surprise when he was tackled firmly from behind. Evelyn gave him one of her very best perp tackles. Lying pressed to Spencer's back as he face the ground, Evelyn wished she had her handcuffs just then to take complete control and domination of the dangerous handsome Spencer. Instead, she straddled him, rolling him over onto his back and then pressed her tits to Spencer's body as she kissed him.

Evelyn’s mouth was hot and warm as their tongues met but as Spencer’s hands came to clasp Eve’s side, he realised she was freezing.

“Holy shit Evelyn! Your like ice,” Spencer told her as his hands ran down her sides and onto her frozen butt.

“It’s a little colder now that I’m out of the water,” Evelyn admitted just as her teeth started chattering noisily.

“Let’s get some warmth into you,” Spencer told her un-sexually as he started to furiously rub his hands up against Evelyn’s side to try and generate some friction heat.

“Yeah. I should probably put some clothes on,” the deputy agreed.

Rather than getting up, Evelyn stayed sitting on Spencer as she reached into the bag beside them and put first a sports bra on and then a shirt and thermal jacket. Spencer was given unwritten permission to gaze upon Evelyn’s naked body as she got dressed as long as he kept trying to rub some heat into her. Evelyn got a final bit of teasing in by dropping a bright Fluro yellow thong on Spencer’s face for just a second before rising up off him and getting the rest of her clothes back on.

Fully dressed Evelyn Malone was still shivering non-stop, Spencer drawing her into his arms to hug her against him for added reheating. “Let’s get you down off this mountain, hey? You can warm up by the fire at my place. Once you get moving you’ll heat up quickly.”

“I have an ATV parked about a mile and a half down the trailhead. You would have come past the fork on the way up here,” Evelyn told Spencer. The ATV would be a quicker way for them both to get back home.

“I know it,” Spencer confirmed and they started walking.

It was as Spencer had hoped. Evelyn was not truly suffering from hypothermia but just a bad wind chill from getting out of already very cold water. Halfway to the ATV Evelyn had stopped shivering and her skin was recapturing its normal healthy pink hues. Her shaking over, Spencer no longer had to keep his arm around Evelyn as they walked but she still kept his hand in hers. When they reached the ATV Evelyn first asked Spencer if he wouldn’t mind driving back down as her hands were still feeling a little bit numb.

He had the motorised 4-wheeler started and was just about to take off when Evelyn shouted, “oh shit! I left my gun behind. I have to go back.”

Spencer didn’t want her hiking all the way back up and then coming back down again. Instead, he offered, “I’ll go and get it. You can come and get it off me later or I’ll bring it to you.”

“Are you sure?” Evelyn still asked. She wasn’t used to a man that would do these sorts of things for her at a drop of a hat. Her separation from Clay had made her even more independent than she had been before.

“Positive,” Spencer confirmed. He wouldn’t accept any compromises. “You just go and look after yourself. Just do me one favour though?”

Evelyn nodded that she’d do anything he liked at that point.

“Can you get a message to Amy’s school that I will be a bit later in picking her up today?”

Evelyn promised she’d do as Spencer asked. Then, before leaving, she jumped out of the driver’s seat quickly and kissed Spencer a thank you goodbye on the lips. He smiled so sweetly from her kiss that Evelyn watched in the bike's side mirrors for as long as she could as she drove away and he started walking back up from whence they came.
